Hiezechielis Prophetæ 32

1 Et factum est, duodecimo anno, in mense duodecimo, in una mensis: factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

Then it happened in the twelfth month of the twelfth year, on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

2 Fili hominis, assume lamentum super Pharaonem regem Ægypti, et dices ad eum: Leoni gentium assimilatus es, et draconi qui est in mari: et ventilabas cornu in fluminibus tuis, et conturbabas aquas pedibus tuis, et conculcabas flumina earum.

“Son of man, lift up a lament concerning Pharaoh the king of Egypt; say to him, 'You are like a young lion among the nations, but you are like a monster in the seas; you churn up the water, you stir up the waters with your feet and muddy their waters.

3 Propterea hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Expandam super te rete meum in multitudine populorum multorum, et extraham te in sagena mea.

The Lord Yahweh says this: So I will spread my net over you in the assembly of many peoples, and they will lift you up in my net.

4 Et projiciam te in terram; super faciem agri abjiciam te: et habitare faciam super te omnia volatilia cæli, et saturabo de te bestias universæ terræ.

I will abandon you in the land. I will throw you into a field and cause all the birds of the heavens to settle on you; the hunger of all living animals on earth will be satisfied by you.

5 Et dabo carnes tuas super montes, et implebo colles tuos sanie tua.

For I will put your flesh on the mountains, and I will fill the valleys with your worm-filled corpse.

6 Et irrigabo terram fœtore sanguinis tui super montes, et valles implebuntur ex te.

Then I will pour your blood over the mountains, and the stream beds will be filled with your blood.

7 Et operiam, cum extinctus fueris, cælum, et nigrescere faciam stellas ejus: solem nube tegam, et luna non dabit lumen suum.

Then when I extinguish you, I will cover the heavens and darken their stars; I will cover the sun with clouds, and the moon will not shine its light.

8 Omnia luminaria cæli mœrere faciam super te, et dabo tenebras super terram tuam, dicit Dominus Deus, cum ceciderint vulnerati tui in medio terræ, ait Dominus Deus.

All the shining lights in the heavens I will darken over you, and I will put darkness over your land—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

9 Et irritabo cor populorum multorum, cum induxero contritionem tuam in gentibus super terras quas nescis.

So I will terrify the heart of many peoples in lands that you do not know, when I bring about your collapse among the nations, among lands that you have not known.

10 Et stupescere faciam super te populos multos, et reges eorum horrore nimio formidabunt super te, cum volare cœperit gladius meus super facies eorum: et obstupescent repente singuli pro anima sua in die ruinæ tuæ.

I will shock many peoples concerning you; their kings will shudder in horror concerning you when I swing my sword before them. Every moment each one will tremble because of you, on the day of your downfall.

11 Quia hæc dicit Dominus Deus: Gladius regis Babylonis veniet tibi.

For the Lord Yahweh says this: The sword of the king of Babylon will come against you.

12 In gladiis fortium dejiciam multitudinem tuam: inexpugnabiles omnes gentes hæ, et vastabunt superbiam Ægypti, et dissipabitur multitudo ejus.

I will cause your multitudes to fall by warriors' swords—each warrior a terror of nations. These warriors will devastate the pride of Egypt and destroy all of its multitudes.

13 Et perdam omnia jumenta ejus, quæ erant super aquas plurimas: et non conturbabit eas pes hominis ultra, neque ungula jumentorum turbabit eas.

For I will destroy all the livestock from beside the plentiful waters; the foot of man will no longer stir the waters up, neither will the hooves of cattle stir them.

14 Tunc purissimas reddam aquas eorum, et flumina eorum quasi oleum adducam, ait Dominus Deus,

Then I will calm their waters and make their rivers run like oil— this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

15 cum dedero terram Ægypti desolatam: deseretur autem terra a plenitudine sua quando percussero omnes habitatores ejus: et scient quia ego Dominus.

When I make the land of Egypt an abandoned place, when the land is made bare of all its fullness, when I attack all the inhabitants in her, they will know that I am Yahweh.

16 Planctus est, et plangent eum: filiæ gentium plangent eum: super Ægyptum et super multitudinem ejus plangent eum, ait Dominus Deus.

There will be a lament; the daughters of the nations will lament over her; they will lament over Egypt, over all her multitudes they will lament—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'”

17 Et factum est in duodecimo anno, in quintadecima mensis: factum est verbum Domini ad me, dicens:

Then it happened in the twelfth year, on the fifteenth day of the month, that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,

18 Fili hominis, cane lugubre super multitudinem Ægypti: et detrahe eam ipsam, et filias gentium robustarum, ad terram ultimam, cum his qui descendunt in lacum.

“Son of man, weep for the multitudes of Egypt and bring them down— her and the daughters of majestic nations—to the lowest earth with those who have gone down to the pit.

19 Quo pulchrior es? descende, et dormi cum incircumcisis.

'Are you really more beautiful than anyone else? Go down and lie down with the uncircumcised.'

20 In medio interfectorum gladio cadent; gladius datus est: attraxerunt eam et omnes populos ejus.

They will fall among those who were killed by the sword. The sword has been drawn! She has been given to the sword; they will seize her and her multitudes.

21 Loquentur ei potentissimi robustorum de medio inferni, qui cum auxiliatoribus ejus descenderunt, et dormierunt incircumcisi interfecti gladio. (Sheol h7585)

The strongest of the warriors in Sheol will declare about Egypt and her allies, 'They have come down here! They will lie with the uncircumcised, with those who were killed by the sword.' (Sheol h7585)

22 Ibi Assur, et omnis multitudo ejus: in circuitu illius sepulchra ejus, omnes interfecti, et qui ceciderunt gladio.

Assyria is there with all her assembly. Her graves surround her; all of them were killed by the sword.

23 Quorum data sunt sepulchra in novissimis laci, et facta est multitudo ejus per gyrum sepulchri ejus: universi interfecti, cadentesque gladio, qui dederant quondam formidinem in terra viventium.

Those whose graves are set in the recesses of the pit are there, with all her assembly. Her graves surround all of those who were killed, who fell by the sword, those who brought terror on the land of the living.

24 Ibi Ælam, et omnis multitudo ejus per gyrum sepulchri sui: omnes hi interfecti, ruentesque gladio, qui descenderunt incircumcisi ad terram ultimam; qui posuerunt terrorem suum in terra viventium, et portaverunt ignominiam suam cum his qui descendunt in lacum.

Elam is there with all her multitudes. Her graves surround her; all of them were killed. Those who fell by the sword, who have gone down uncircumcised to the lowest parts of the earth, who brought their terrors on the land of the living and who carry their own shame, together with the ones going down to the pit.

25 In medio interfectorum posuerunt cubile ejus in universis populis ejus: in circuitu ejus sepulchrum illius: omnes hi incircumcisi, interfectique gladio. Dederunt enim terrorem suum in terra viventium, et portaverunt ignominiam suam cum his qui descendunt in lacum: in medio interfectorum positi sunt.

They set a bedroll for Elam and all her multitudes in the midst of the slain; her graves surround her. All of them are uncircumcised, pierced by the sword, because they had brought their terrors on the land of the living. So they carry their own shame, together with the ones going down to the pit among all those who have been killed, those who are going down to the pit. Elam is among all those who were killed.

26 Ibi Mosoch et Thubal, et omnis multitudo ejus: in circuitu ejus sepulchra illius: omnes hi incircumcisi, interfectique et cadentes gladio, quia dederunt formidinem suam in terra viventium.

Meshech, Tubal, and all their multitudes are there! Their graves surround them. All of them are uncircumcised, killed by the sword, because they had brought their terrors on the land of the living.

27 Et non dormient cum fortibus, cadentibusque, et incircumcisis, qui descenderunt ad infernum cum armis suis, et posuerunt gladios suos sub capitibus suis, et fuerunt iniquitates eorum in ossibus eorum: quia terror fortium facti sunt in terra viventium. (Sheol h7585)

They do not lie with the fallen warriors of the uncircumcised who have gone down to Sheol with all their weapons of war, and with their swords placed under their heads and their iniquities over their bones. For they were the terror of warriors in the land of the living. (Sheol h7585)

28 Et tu ergo in medio incircumcisorum contereris, et dormies cum interfectis gladio.

So you, Egypt, will be broken in the midst of the uncircumcised! You will lie alongside those who were pierced by the sword.

29 Ibi Idumæa, et reges ejus, et omnes duces ejus, qui dati sunt cum exercitu suo cum interfectis gladio, et qui cum incircumcisis dormierunt, et cum his qui descendunt in lacum.

Edom is there with her kings and all her leaders. They have been placed in their strength with those killed by the sword. With the uncircumcised they lie, with those who have gone down to the pit.

30 Ibi principes aquilonis omnes, et universi venatores, qui deducti sunt cum interfectis, paventes, et in sua fortitudine confusi: qui dormierunt incircumcisi cum interfectis gladio, et portaverunt confusionem suam cum his qui descendunt in lacum.

The princes of the north are there—all of them and all the Sidonians who went down with the ones who had been pierced. They were powerful and made others to be afraid, but now they are there in shame, uncircumcised with those who were pierced by the sword. They carry their own shame, together with the ones going down to the pit.

31 Vidit eos Pharao, et consolatus est super universa multitudine sua, quæ interfecta est gladio: Pharao, et omnis exercitus ejus, ait Dominus Deus.

Pharaoh will look and be comforted about all his multitudes who were pierced by the sword—Pharaoh and all his army—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.

32 Quia dedi terrorem meum in terra viventium, et dormivit in medio incircumcisorum cum interfectis gladio: Pharao, et omnis multitudo ejus, ait Dominus Deus.

I put him as my terrifying one in the land of the living, but he will be laid down in the midst of the uncircumcised, among those pierced by the sword, Pharaoh and all his multitudes—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
